The Best Restaurants in St. Paul’s Mac-Groveland Neighborhood | Eater Twin Cities

"When Emel and Masooda Sherzad decided to retire, the Mac-Groveland neighborhood waited with bated breath to see what would take the place of widely beloved Khyber Pass Cafe, which had been a stalwart on Grand Avenue for nearly four decades. A cozy lounge bar, it turns out, was the answer: warmly lit, with a rigorously curated selection of cocktails and a menu that extends beyond just bar snacks (though the whipped feta and nachos are favorites among regulars). For those interested in heartier fare, order the sea bass, buttery and sweet, in a rich red coconut curry; or the pan-fried chicken schnitzel with smashed red potatoes, loaded with roasted garlic and sour cream." - Julie Yu
